Key subgroups in topological groups and minimality conditions
This talk reviews several old and new minimality conditions in topological groups with a focuson the so-called key subgroups. We discuss motivating examples in generalized Heisenberg groups. Extending some results of a joint work with E. Glasner, we continue to studythe Polish group G=Aut(Q/Z) of all circular order preserving permutations of the rational discrete circle.We show that certain extremely amenable subgroups H in G are inj-key (distinguishweaker Hausdorff group topologies on G) but are not co-minimal in G.This example answers a question from a recent joint work with M. Shlossbergand is inspired by a question proposed by V. Pestov.The talk will conclude with a discussion of related open questions.
Presumably, it will be held in person in math seminar room (building 216, room 201) and also on-line via zoom with the link https://biu-ac-il.zoom.us/j/82747834707

Abstract
This talk reviews several old and new minimality conditions in topological groups with a focus
on the so-called key subgroups. We discuss motivating examples in generalized Heisenberg
groups. Extending some results of a joint work with E. Glasner, we continue to study
the Polish group G=Aut(Q/Z) of all circular order preserving permutations of the rational discrete circle.
We show that certain extremely amenable subgroups H in G are inj-key (distinguish
weaker Hausdorff group topologies on G) but are not co-minimal in G.
This example answers a question from a recent joint work with M. Shlossberg
and is inspired by a question proposed by V. Pestov.
The talk will conclude with a discussion of related open questions.
